ATLANTA --- Bulldogs has done it again! The popular midtown gay bar on Peachtree Street will be the exclusive host for writer, Herndon L Davis; author of the new controversial book, Black, Gay & Christian." The book signing and workshop discussion will be held on Saturday March 20, from 6-8pm. The event will be the official Atlanta kickoff for the books debut.
Were very excited to have the opportunity to host this event. It brings to the forefront very important issues dealing with spirituality, sexuality and the politics which surround it in the black community" according to Bulldogs management.
Released in February, Black Gay & Christian" is a 16 chapter gay/lesbian affirming, biblically based, spiritual empowerment tool geared towards the entire black community, and not just gays/lesbians. (http://blackgaychristian.com).
The book's author, Herndon L. Davis emphasizes that this book is one of joy and inspiration as it deals not only with the deeply rooted spiritual and cultural issues of the duality of being both black and gay/lesbian, it also targets the non-affirming black clergy and families in assisting them in their ministry and love towards their gay/lesbian loved ones and parishioners."
As the Gay Marriage debate swirls in the epicenter of various political, religious and cultural arenas, there is also an equally forceful initiative mounted by conservatives vying for votes from the Black Church and community in order to form an alliance against it. Hence, Black, Gay & Christian" falls squarely in the line of fire voicing the opinions, concerns and life experiences of black gay/lesbians who have traditionally led either a closeted or dont ask, dont tell" existence.
Davis adds that this book touches upon and speaks up for many contemporary social black gay/lesbian issues such as parenting, homophobia on the job, and even managing personal finances, all directly from a black gay/lesbian perspective."
The book will available for purchase at the event and can also be purchased directly online for $16 at http://blackgaychristian.com. The book is expected to enter into local bookstores by the end of the month.
